Downtown Core Vision Statement

The downtown core is a vibrant and active place with shopping and dining, entertainment venues, arts and cultural experiences, civic activities and spaces, and public gathering places. These activities are supported by an enhanced customer base of new residents, employees, and students living in and around the historic core. At the same time, the diverse historic and cultural character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods and housing choices are respected and sustained as new housing, parks, and open space additions and improvements, and infrastructure improvements occur.
